1.Le Creuset TM-110 table corkscrew, black
Keep turning the handle in the same direction and this self-pulling corkscrew draws the cork out through its frame. It is a compact tool gift for someone who opens corked wine regularly and would appreciate a different mechanism from a waiter's corkscrew. The black TM-110 is made from polycarbonate and works manually. Give it to a corked-wine drinker: someone who usually buys screw-cap bottles may rarely need it.
Pros
- Manual self-pulling mechanism; no charging.
Cons
- Limited use if their usual bottles have screw caps; hand wash only.

2.Vacu Vin Original Wine Saver, black with one stopper
This hand pump removes air through a reusable stopper after a bottle has been opened. Vacu Vin's click indicates when to stop pumping, so there is no battery or app to manage. The selected pack contains one black pump and one stopper, making it a small practical gift for someone who wants to keep an unfinished bottle. It is designed for still wine; sparkling wine needs a different type of closure.
Pros
- Reusable stopper and manual pump.
Cons
- One stopper included; not for sparkling wine.

3.Riedel Wine Friendly 002 red-wine glasses, set of four
Four matching stemmed glasses make a more substantial table gift than a single novelty goblet. This Wine Friendly set is made from crystal glass and intended for red wine, with a rounded bowl and a clear finish. It suits someone furnishing a dining table or replacing a mixed collection. Check their cupboard space and existing set first; it is a household present that needs somewhere safe to store four stems.
Pros
- Four matching crystal glasses for the table.
Cons
- Fragile stemware; requires cupboard space.

4.Vacu Vin Active Cooler wine sleeve, black
Freeze this flexible sleeve before slipping it around a wine bottle at the table or a picnic. It uses cooling gel, so there is no bucket of loose ice to carry or empty afterwards. The black sleeve lies flat for storage and suits standard wine bottles. This is a useful gift for someone who enjoys chilled wine outdoors, provided they have freezer space and remember to prepare it in advance.
Pros
- Reusable sleeve packs flat; no loose ice needed.
Cons
- Needs at least six hours in a freezer before use.

5.Wine Folly: Magnum Edition by Madeline Puckette and Justin Hammack
Wine Folly uses graphics, maps and explanations of grapes and styles to make wine easier to explore. The Magnum Edition also covers food pairing, giving someone who enjoys choosing a bottle for dinner more to investigate. It is a good present when their curiosity runs beyond one favourite region. Check they do not already own this edition; it is a general reference, not a current vintage-by-vintage buying list.
Pros
- Illustrated coverage of wine styles, regions and food pairing.
Cons
- Not a live guide to prices, vintages or current stock.

Publisher's Magnum Edition description ↗
What to buy someone who loves wine
Wine lovers differ in what they enjoy about a bottle: some collect regions and grape varieties, while others care more about serving wine at the table. The best gifts for wine lovers fit the bottles they buy, the glassware they own and whether an opened bottle is usually finished. Check their preferred styles, storage space and existing accessories before adding another corkscrew or set of glasses.
